Chapter 588 Life-saving grace
But what Li Jian didn't know was that while he was running, his feet were being gnawed by cockroaches that crawled onto his feet.
When he and Zhou Mei ran out of the passage and reached the intersection they had agreed on before.
His feet had been bitten to pieces by cockroaches.
For the next few steps, Li Jian had to rely almost entirely on his ankles for support in order to run!
Under such circumstances, falling is inevitable.
So, after running a few more steps, Li Jian lost his balance and fell to the ground with Zhou Mei.
One second before landing, Li Jian used his extraordinary body skills to complete a flip in the air, allowing himself to land first and serve as a cushion for Zhou Mei in his arms.
After this fall, Li Jian never got up again.
The fall was so severe that it broke two of Li Jian's ribs.
But he didn't say a word.
The first thing he cared about was Zhou Mei.
What can Zhou Mei do?
Of course it's okay!
Li Jian protected her well, and the fall did not cause any harm to her.
However, she was already exhausted due to excessive consumption of her supernatural powers.
The whole person was extremely weak.
His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes from being eaten by cockroaches.
Among them, the feet are the most serious.
Almost lost the ability to move.
Later, Li Jian tried several more times, but failed to stand up again while holding Zhou Mei.
They watched as the army of cockroaches caught up and surrounded them again.
Li Jian gave up the idea of escaping.
He hugged Zhou Mei tightly and protected her under himself.
At such a close distance, Zhou Mei could even hear the horrible sound made by the cockroaches gnawing at Li Jian's body.
Li Jian, who was being eaten by cockroaches, just smiled and coaxed Zhou Mei, comforting her and telling her not to cry.
During this process, Zhou Mei felt that Li Jian seemed like a different person.
Become like a chatterbox.
He talked a lot to Zhou Mei.
He talked about his family and some things about himself.
He talked about when and how he fell in love with Zhou Mei.
He also said that he just wanted to keep his love hidden in his heart because of his considerations of the reality.
He also talked about his dreams.
He hopes that one day he can become an outstanding and strong person who can stand on his own.
When that day comes, if Zhou Mei is still alone, he will express his feelings to her.
As for his dream...
It was that Zhou Mei could accept him at that time.
Li Jian kept talking to Zhou Mei until his voice became weaker and weaker, and the only sound left at the scene was the crunching sound of flesh being chewed.
And Zhou Mei finally realized how deeply this man, who was still a stranger to her, loved her.
She still remembers the last words Li Jian said to her.
He said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you in the end. I love you. If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be happy, healthy and safe. Don't meet a useless man like me again..."
.........
at this time.
Zhou Mei cried so hard that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't make a sound.
Especially when I think of the last scene I saw before I fell into a coma.
She saw Li Jian, who had lost his skin and limbs and only had half of his body left.
Moreover, he suffered the painful fate of being beheaded.
Li Jian didn't have to endure all this.
He had many opportunities to escape.
However, for Zhou Mei, he gave up the chance to live.
Seeing that he was unable to escape with Zhou Mei, he decided not to run away but to wait for death with her.
Moreover, in the last moments, he had been protecting Zhou Mei.
Protect her with your life!
Who else can make such sacrifices except blood relatives?
Even if they are blood relatives, I'm afraid they can't do this!
And because of this friendship, Zhou Mei quickly opened her heart.
She never hated Li Jian.
I even developed some good feelings towards him because of the brief encounters I had with him a few times before.
It's just that she didn't want to fall in love, so she deliberately suppressed this affection.
First of all, Li Jian's appearance was in line with Zhou Mei's aesthetic taste.
Secondly, the fact that he was able to join the robbing group shows that he has good character.
Finally, a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for her.
What else can Zhou Mei complain about?
The main reason why she didn't fall in love before was because she felt that human nature could not stand the test in the end-time environment.
But after this incident, Li Jian gave Zhou Mei a satisfactory answer in a serious manner.
Zhou Mei herself couldn't control her heartbeat.
What should be said should not be said.
Women are inherently emotional creatures.
Isn't this how one repays a life-saving favor with one's own body?
Just like that, Zhou Mei fell "madly" in love with Li Jian without even being sure about herself.
Even the crazy ones have become a little "degraded".
This is not.
No matter how Chai Yutong explained to Zhou Mei that Li Jian was fine, Zhou Mei wouldn't listen.
She only wanted to see Li Jian in person.
Chai Yutong was so angry at Zhou Mei's stubbornness that she slammed the table and said, "Enough! Stop making trouble! What Li Jian needs most now is to receive proper treatment. What if you go to look for him now and disturb Luo Luo and Aunt Yun?
Also, can you take a look at yourself first? ! Take a look at yourself and see if you are back to normal and intact?
Doesn't this prove something? Don't you know the strength of Luo Luo and Aunt Yun?
With these two around, if Li Jian gets into trouble again, I'll cut off his head and let you kick it around like a ball! Can I be buried with him?
I'm speechless! Why didn't I realize that you were still a love-brained person before? Why? Once you fall in love with a man, you lose your brain?"
Chai Yutong's mouth was like a machine gun, she said a lot of things in a rapid succession, which directly made the "crazy" Zhou Mei wilted.
Of course, the last sentence was just nonsense.
She didn't know whether Zhou Meiai fell in love with Li Jian or not.
She made such a guess based on Zhou Mei's behavior, which seemed like she was possessed by evil spirits.
After all, she was even more "crazy" when she liked Lu Jingcheng.
As a result, when she looks back at herself back then, she feels like she has some serious illness.
Like a moron whose head was squeezed by the door.
.........
After being scolded, Zhou Mei finally calmed down.
Only then will you have time to focus on yourself.
She found that she was just as Chai Yutong said, her whole body was intact.
The hands and feet are all in good condition and are in the right places.
For a moment, Zhou Mei had an illusion.
She felt as if the serious injuries she had suffered before were just a nightmare.
At this moment, Zhou Mei did not feel any discomfort except for the chest tightness caused by crying just now.
She got out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, and tried to walk around.
.........
